SB Live! 5.1 Digital card and Creative Cambridge Soundworks 200 Speak

I have a SB Li've! 5. Digital card and a set of Creative Cambridge Soundworks 200 Speakers. The speakers consist of 4 satelites and sub woofer. My audio has been working flawlessly for several years until this weekend when I decided to reformat my dri've and re-install Windows XP Pro. I downloaded the dell drivers (card is from dell) and installed them and then installed the updates for them from this web site. The problem I'm having (before and after applying the upfate) is that only two of the satelites emit sound! Furthermore when I run the creative diagnostic test app (all tests pass) and run the "Test Speakers", the rear left spkr is identified properly; and the right front spkr is identified as rear right and no speakers are identified as front.
My physical h/w configuration has not been touched during the re-install of windows.
Any suggestions for getting my audio system working properly again?
Thanks,
Phil

I just opened my system and looked at the card. It has the following identification on it:
. SB Li've!
2. Model SB0200
3. Serial Number: MSB020032052655
So perhaps it is not an SB Li've 5. Digital as I previously thought; regardless I'm still having the same problems. When I downloaded and tried to install the SBLi've! drivers indicated from http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=&sOSName=Windows+XP&regi on=&Product_Name=Li've%2&Product_ID=4857&model number=&driverlang=033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=24&y=5
I received an error message that no soundblaster card could be found.
When I searched for drivers by model (sb0200), the website said said, "no such drivers".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil

Dolby Digital AC-3 missing: Realtek ALC892 / Creative Cambridge SoundWorks DeskTop Theater 5.1

Hi there,
recently I purchased a new mainboard (ASUS Sabertooth X58, http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...th_X58.pdfwith an internal soundchip ALC892 from Realtek. This mainbard has an internal S/PDIF-Connector which I connected to a coax cable for fitting the Dolby Digital AC-3 S/PDIF input of the Creative Cambridge SoundWorks DeskTop Theater 5.1 (model CSW3000, 998, http://download.cambridgesoundworks....nuals/DTT5.pdf
As the SoundWorks has an internal Dolby decoder working it seems to be somewhat difficult to get the noise going. Simply connecting the cable does not work, neither tuning the Realtek sound driver. It seems that the Realtek driver is missing an option to stream directly to the DTT5.1.
Is there any possibility to get the combination working?
Best regards, Ingo Wolfmller

I installed my old Audigy 2 and connected the Speakers. The digital output of that soundcard works. So the speakers are alright. But the AC-3 stream e.g. coming from an DVD delivers a steady crunching/crashing sound. Maybe a configuration problem although I fixed the output to Dolby Digital an 48 kHz.
The internal Realtek still delivers nothing.

Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

OK Status update:
I posted this question on the Dutch forum as well. I am happy to tell you all that in the Dutch forum Dragonfly is one of the moderators. He knows his MSI stuff
He gave me the solution to my problem. So just in case anyone else has a similar problem and can't read Dutch, here it is
He advised me to start the Media Live up with no monitor or TV attached to it at all. Then start up with either a monitor or a TV attached to it. Lo and behold.... the problem is solved.
All credits for this solution go to Dragonfly

Missing files for my Live 5.1 digital card (90

Hi I have this Sound Blaster card that I purchased as an OEM card and had to download the drivers for it and it is a very good sound card as have all my other previous Sound Blaster cards. My problem is that I cannot find anywhere to download all the other files that would have on the CD normally supplied with a card. I need to be able to transfer li've recordings made on a portable minidisk recorder, on to the PC and or the CD writer.
I can play the minidisk through the line in on the card no problem but with out the normally associated Wave recorder etc that is on the original CD I cannot actually transfer or save the recordings.
Can anyone point me in the direction where I can locate the missing files or obtain a replacement CD for my card? I'm based in Essex in the UK.

I doubt your card is?a 9000 as such if it's an SB li've!. I know where you are seeing this number, but you need to look on the card itself.
Your looking for something like this on? paper sticker on the card.
<img alt="" src="http://www.svcheats.com/audigy/li've/0226.jpg" style="width: 592px; height: 240px" width="592" height="240">
I expect your looking at the cards number in windows itself, but anyway see what you can find on the card.
We have a user here who has uploaded most of the files for the SB Li've here?(mind the adds) but lets ID your card first.

5.1 with X-Fi and older Cambridge Soundworks speake

I have an older Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Theater 5. DTT2500 Digital speaker system, and I just bought a SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer card for my Vista (32bit) computer.
The speaker system has four inputs:
Line In
Rear In
Dolby Digital (AC-3) S/PDIF
Digital DIN
I currently can only get 4. sound by using the two analog connections (Line and Rear). I used to have an Audigy NS, which was able to connect directly to the S/PDIF plug on my speaker system to provide 5. surround.
How can I connect my X-Fi's Digital Out flexijack to my speaker system's digital inputs so I can get full 5. surround?
Thanks for your time!

I own those speakers and as someone else pointed out they're not true 5. speakers, they are only true for movies, not for games, even with the adapter, the center channel will not pick it up. I opted for another manufacturer speakers. When that came out, it was top of the line, high tech etc. But only really for movies, I have it hooked up to my DVD player now and that's all it's good for. And when I had it hooked up to my computer all I was ever able to get out of it was 4. with the spdf adapter and connection.

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro Card and GigaWorks S750 7.1 Speaker Sys

Hello,
I just purchased both the for my cousin. I sent it out of the States and just realized that they use 220V instead of the 0V we have in the states. I assume the sound card will be fine connecting it to the computer systems running XP. I'm not sure on the speakers, is there a switch to make it 220v or should he get a converter for the speakers? Please help me on both the speakers and the sound card.
Thank you!!!

I'm no expert but I think he should be fine. Might want to make sure that both the computer and speaker setup are connected to a surge protector (I would recommend one with at least 3000 joule protection). With a good surge protector I don't think he will have any problems...

Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 and DTT2500 5.1

Hello!
I have a Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 and a Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 5.1 Digital Sound System.
I linked them with with the SPDIF-Out on the Live! Drive.
First i thought it works but then i realized that there is only sound from the 2 front and the center speakers. There is no Signal on the Sorround Speakers.
When i do the sound test in the sorround mixer, only the left and the right front speakers work.
Do i have to link it with this 9 pin digital din cable? But i don't have such and don't know where to get.
Can you help me?
How do i have to link this devices?

You may have to use the connection on the rear of the sound card...there should have had a "Y" shaped cable included with the speaker/sound card..it has a small 1/8" plug on the single end and opens to a din plug and rca type pluge on the other...try the single end in the orange input at the sound card and the other two plug in to the speaker system..sorry bout being so vaugue, i'm kinda tired..but if you need the original speaker system/ sound card owner's manuals with the installation diagrams I can get them to you.

Ceative Inspire 4.1 and Creative Blaster Sound card live 5.1 Problem

for preview
http://support.creative.com/Products/Produ...nspire+4.+4400
The problem that I can not find the sound card driver for windows 7 and the windows installed the driver but the sound is not pure although it's higher than the sound when i connect the speakers to my Built in card
I am not satisfied with the sound when i connect the speakers to creative li've card and i can not install the driver for windows 7
I hope to fix this
Thanks

Does this problem only occur in certain programs? Because I have a similar problem with my sound suddenly dropping without warning. But it only happens when I'm playing music in Windows Media Player. If it does have something to do with the media player then I suspect it could be the "WOW effects plugin." I hope this helps, or at least narrows down your problem.

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.
This User Tip
